The 2022 Henry 180 was the sixteenth stock car race of the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 13th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, July 2, 2022, in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin at Road America, a 4.048 miles (6.515 km) permanent road course. The race was increased from 45 laps to 48 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. Ty Gibbs, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, made a last lap pass on Kyle Larson, and earned his 8th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, along with his fourth of the season.[1] To fill out the podium, Josh Berry, driving for JR Motorsports, would finish in 3rd, respectively.

The race was marred by a crash on lap 25. With 20 laps to go in the race, tempers began to flare between Noah Gragson and Sage Karam, after having a full-contact battle for the 10th place position. Gragson showed his displeasure by giving Karam the middle finger after exiting turn 1. After the contact continued, Gragson became frustrated, and made a right turn into the side of Karam, spinning them both in front of the pack. After dust was kicked up from the spin, the field behind them was blind, causing confusion for the drivers. 16 cars would be collected in the wreck, with some drivers having brutal hits. The worst hit was Brandon Brown, after slamming into the side of Tyler Reddick at a high force. Brown got out of his car under his own power, but immediately went over to the right side of the wall and sat down in pain.[2] Three days after the race, Gragson was fined US$35,000 and docked 30 driver and owner points.[3]

This was the debut race for the 2021 ARCA Menards Series East champion, Sammy Smith.[4]
